 ding of Florence J. Bail, Daughter
 of Professor Ball. to MT. William

 There was 8 large assemblage of bright and joyous faces at the Church of the Ascension yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock despite the temporary renewal of winter with snow-clad earth which April brought yester day. The happy occasion was the wedding of Mir. William Eddowes. of New York. and Miss Florence Julina Bail, .only daughter of Professor Louis Bail, and was the most prominent occasion since the Easter season.
 As the guests were assembling delightful harmonies were rendered upon the organ by
 the organist, MT. George E. Goodale, the
 selections being from Berg's wedding march
 and Clark's procession march. The chancel
 decorations for tho occasion consisted of
 choice and beautiful potted plants in vari-
 ety, natives and exotics, supplemented by
 the fine Easter decorations, which still re-
 mained in their freshness and beauty. The
 bride, charming and very estimable and
 accomplished young lady, looked lovely in
 travelling dress of golden brown color and hat
 to match. She carried bouquet of roses.
 She was accompanied to the altar rail by her
 father, the ushers, Mr. Louis N. Bail of New
 York, brother of the bride, and Mir.
 Abe L. Newman, preceding. The bride
 was met at the altar rail by
 the groom who, accompanied by his brother,
 IL af Nav VorIr
 had come from the vestry. As the bridal
 party appeared the organ pealed forth the
 beautiful Swedish march by Soderman. Rev. Mir Woodcock, rector of the church, oficiated. Arrived at the altar Professor Bail gave the bride to the groom, and the couple faced the minister, who read, with feeling, the beautiful service of the Episco- pal church and the prayer for the occasion, the newly welded couple kneeling while the benediction was pronounced. During the ceremony Mir. Goodale played softly "At Evening" by Dudley Buck, and the respon- ses were made by bride and groom distinctly and earnestly.
 Many prominent citizens and many ladies of the schools of the city were in the throng of personal friends at the ceremony, and their heartfelt wishes follow the happy pair. Directly after the ceremony an elegant lunch was served at the residence of Profes- sor Bail to the relatives only of the two fam flies.
